just started fishing for bass. I was always after eyes for the most part. But with the river traffick the way it is on 8, decided i would try the backwaters for bass. Beside I like to catch fish, don’t really care what species. So a thank you to blue and Slop, who helped me out in a few pm’s. So far, it has been mostly top water for me, with tossing to a few high banks. Have fished on a few evenings in the last couple of weeks. Have been doing ok I think, I have been pleased. Last monday, went o goose and fished for 3 hrs with 3 follows. Was getting a bit discouraged and thought maybe i should just go home, then I caught a fish-14incher. Then another in a very similar looking area. Started to find the grass and weeds in other locations, and low and behold, fish. Well i don’t know how many fish and blow-ups I had, but it lasted for over an hour. All fish would have been keepers. Some actually came out of the water after hitting the bait, i thought that was ok. I only had one bait to throw for top water , but now I have a cuople different types to try, was thowing a horny toad. Gonna give flukes a try, since Slop said I should. Anyway , any other ideas from anyone is appreciated. good luck fishing–John
